Mr. Henderson introduced a hill to allow Uie sher iff of Muskingum county additional time to return process, which was read Uio first time, and the con stitutional rule being dispensed wiUi, the bill was also read Uie second time and ordered to a Uiird read ing. Mr. Stanton moved that Uie bill to repeal the charter of Uin Urbana Banking company, be indefinitely postponed. Mr. htaiiton said tie did nntmako this motion lur tho purtKMO of making any question as to Uio right of repeal; upon Uiat subject every Senator had doubtless msile up his mind. But he wished to know what necessity there was for passings Siccial law to wind up the Hairs of Uiis bank, and repeal its charter, when we have already passed a law to wind up all hanks Uiat refuse to pay specie, which will take eftoet before Uiis bill can possibly become a law, and when its charter will expire by its own limitation on tho 1st day of January next He could see no propriety in making distinctintiAof Uiissort llewoiild askjthe attention of tho Senate s moment to Uiedif-fervneo between the mode provided in this bill fur winding up this bank, and the mode provided in the resumption bill, for winding up oilier suspended banks. By Uiis bill Uie receivers who ore to lako charge of the assets of tha bank, are to be appointed by Uie Bank Commissioners. By Uie resumption bill, Uie receivers are to be appointed by Uie Court who issues the writ of injunction and mandamus. By this bill, triey are to give security to uie sausiauuun ui uio Commissioners. By tho resumption bill, they oro to give security to Uie satisfaction of the court Bv Uiis hill. Uio receivers are subjected to no pun ishment for embezzling the assets of tho bank. By Uie resumption bill, if Uie receivers embezzle the assets of any bank, Uiey are to be imprisoned in Uie Penitentiary, not less Uian one, nor more than ten yoors. If I am correctly informed as to Uie origin of Uns bill, and the persons wno are most useiy to o appointed receivers, this is a provision of the benefit of which the creditors of Uie Urbana Bank should by no means be deprived. iiy tins bin uio receivers are nmuu ausuiuiciy independent of Uie courts, and no matter what miscon duct Uiey may have been guilty of, all application to the courts ol justice to prevent or arrest it is absolutely prohibited. By Uiis bill, Uio facts necessary to work a forfeiture of charter are assumed wiUiout trial or inquiry, upon mere rumor. By the resumption bill, Uio fact of forfeiture is to be tried by a jury, where Uio bank call have an opportunity of being heard in its own defence. If there was- any reason why Uio Urbana Bank should not have the benefit of Uiese provisions, he wished to know what it was. lie asaca no special exemption for this Bunk, and ho hoped no special disabilities would bo imposed on it, but that it would be disposed of under Uie general law which governed oUier banks. The bill was then indefinitely postponed ; yeas ID, nays 17, and The Senate took a rccoBS. 3 o'clock, P. M. Mr. Bartley, from tho committee on Uie Judiciary, reported back tho bill to amend Uie act regulating judicial proceedings where banks and bankors are purilCS, and 10 proiuuil issuing ouiik uius ui curiam descriptions, with sundry amendments, which wero agreed to, and Uie bill ordered to a third reading. The bill allowing Uio SherirT of Muskingum ca additional time to return process, was then read a Uiird timo and passed. On motion of Mr. Nosh, tho Senate reconsidered its voto by which it refused to order to a third reading the bill for Uie relief of Uie contractors on the Wabash and Erie Canal and on Uie Miami Canal Extension, &c, and it was referred to the committee on Finance. The Scnato then went into committee of the whole and took up and considered sundry bills, which were reported buck, same with and somo without amendment, and referred to various standing committees. On motion of Mr. Wulton, the Senate took up Uie bill to auUiorize tho sale of school suction lli, in Harris township, Ottawa county. Mr. Walton moved to strike out all after the enact ing clause and insert "Uiat Uieroshallbo an adjourned session of Uio General Assembly, which shall commence at tho town of Columbus, on the 25th day of July next "Inch amendment was agreed to, and tho bill ordered to s third reading.

Mr. Wheeler presented a petition from citizens of Madison county, praying an immediate adjournment of tlio legislature. The Chair remarked that Uie presentation of such petitions only had a tendency to consumo Uio time of tho House, and Uicreupon declared it out of or der. Petitions wero also presented by Messrs. Raffen- sperirer and Taylor. Mr. Moore, from tho committee on New Counties, reported adversely to Uio petition of citizens of Clay township, Ottawa county, iraying to bo re-attached to tho county ol Sandusky.

Tho college had been in operation seven or eight years, and was a useful institution. Tho citizens of Mitskingiitn county had contributed to raise Ui Literary Fund, and now claimed a small share of Ui benefits to be derived from it Mr. Jenkins thought the citizens of Uiat county hud no particular claims for a special appropriation in their uehalt, as they had already robbed Uio ritale of a large amount ol money which had Decn oxpen ded in Uio construction ot public iiniirovements it Uiat county. Ho wished to see all Uio dams on Uie Muskiniruui river torn down, and Uio water sulfered to How in its original channel. At Uiis particular juncture, ho Uiouglit Uio laborers on the Public Works nccueo reuci more uian uie oiuskingui Collep-e. Mr. Chambers remarked that the magnificent pro ject of the Muskingum Improvement was stsrted, not by tiio w lugs, but by Uio political Incnds ot Uio gen tleman from Columbiana. II it was a robbery ot tin State, tho responsibility and odium rested on Un shoulders of Uie gentleman's political friends, snd not upon thoso of any whig in Muskingum county. Tho Muskingum College was justly entitled to a portion or Uio Literary fund, which was constituted for the cspocial purposo of aiding institutions of this description. Ho was sorry Uiat $.V),U0O was, by Uie spproiiristion bill, to bo taken from tiio Re.hool Fund for tho payment of contractors on the msniv pnbli works, by which the State had been robbed, according to the gentleman's statement The bill was Uien inuchuilly postponed by a vote of ;ito'. Mr. Bvinglon, from the Judiciary committee, re ported back the bill to amend an set prescribing the duties of county treasurers, by extending the time of Uieir settlement with the Treasurer of Stato untHUio second Monday of r ehniary in each year, and re commended its indefinite postponement, which was disagreed to. Mr. Ilyington moved Uiat it be recommitted to the committeo on r m ince. After a spirited discussion, In which Messrs. Pro- bnscu, Wood, Meredith and Mc r tirland took part opiKisitinn Ui the recommitment snd in favor of I putisago of the bill, and Mir. Jenkins, Byingti and Spalding in opposition to its psjwage,the motion to recommit was lost The hill was then ordered to a third reading, Mr. Byington, from Uie same committee, reported back the bill to amend Uie act defining the powers and duties of Justices of the Peace and constables criminal cases, by requiring complainants, for of fences not punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary, to give security for costs in case the complaint shall be dismissed. After some discussion, the bill was ordered to a Uiird reading. I he House took a recess. 2J o'clock, P. M. The question being on the engrossment of the bill repeal so much ot tho charter ol the Ohio 1 urn- pike Company, as authorizes Uie construction of Uieir road from the WooBter Turnpike to Cincinnati. Mr. Clarke moved Uiat tne Dill be postponed until tho 1st Monday of December next Mr. Jones opposed Uie motion. He said Uiat the Commissioners of Hamilton county were anxious Uiat the bill should pass ; that Uiey had expended money already in constructing a road on Uie route over which the Company's charter authorizes Uio construction of a turnpiko, and were desirous to prevent Uie company lrom proceeding with that portion ol Uieir road. Mr. Clarke hoped tho Houbo would postpone Uie bill. It was introduced very lato in Uie session without any petition, and without any notice to the Company, and if members really wished to do justice to Uie stockholders of Uiat Company, in Uie action this bill may receive at their hands, they would postpone Uieir action on the subject until those whose interests are to be effected could be heard by petition or lomorial in the premises, this is Uie House in hich Uie bill originated, and it lias not yet been en grossed. But four days of the session remain, and it was next to impossible Uiat it should become a law. Let it then be continued until the next regular session, and in tho mean time Uie stockholders ot Uie Company will be enabled to present the fuels and arguments, that they may deem proper to a full and fair ascertainment of their interests involved in the provisions of Iho bill. I havo, said Mr. C, some stock in that rotd, but fuel free to soy Uiat I have more interest in doing justice to tiioso who are unheard and unrepresented horc, Uian in Uie few shares I own, which or greatly below par, and ore considered as of but title value. If it is right Uiat Uiis bill hall pass, it wil, not be too late to do it at the next session, and if ths Company can show sufficient reasons why it shot Id not pass, it will Uien be a good time to learn Uie condition of tho case, and understand the merits of Uie bill. Mr. Jones raised Uie question of order, whcUicr the member from Clermont, (Mr. Clarke) who being stockholder, aui consequently interested in the question, was enti led to vote on Uie question, and read trom uie iuamai in support ol ins position. Mr. Clarke said he lull that lie could vote Irco from any influences arising out of his personal interest, hut he would giatify the member from 1 lomilton, who seemed to havt set his heart upon Uio success of Uiis measure, and ask to bo excused from voting on Uie question. The motion to postsono was thon lost (ftir. Llorlio being excused from voting, agreeably with Uio request of Mr. Jones,) yeos 2i), nays 32 a strict party vote. The question Uien being on tho engrossment of Uie bill, Mr. Clarke said ho was sorry to hnd Uie House un- iliinff to do an act of naked justice, by affording the stockholders of Uie Company an opportunity to bo informed of Uie proceedings and to bo heard in lieir own behalf. 1 hii poor privilege havipir been denied, he felt it to be his duty to submit a few re marks to Uio consideration ot Uie House, bcloro Uie vote was taken. Mr. Clarke Uien wen', into a lengthy detail of the facts connected with the progress of Uie road. Ho also read from Uio Cincinnati Republican of Fchrua- y with, 181', a memorial drawn up and presented to lie Legislature bv tiia Democracy of Hamilton county, in lcSJli, denouncing Uie doctrine of repeal of charters as revolutioiury and dangerous ; which memorial, ho said, had keen circulated for Uie purposo of obtaining signers, by one of Uie members from Hamilton now on Uiis floor. Mr. Hatch rose and interrupted Mr. Clurko, by uying that if Uie allusion was to him, he (Mr. (.'.) was mistaken. He had never circulated such a memorial fur signers, nor in any manner aided in procuring Biihscnbcrs for it and Uiot whenever the editor of that paper, (tho Cincinnati Republicnn in Uie hands of Mr. Clorke) or the moiubor from Clermont made such statements, ho must say Uiey were incor rect Mr. Clarke said he was willing tho pentlemnn should moke tho explanation, and ho would stsnd corrected. Mr. C. Uien roceeded to read tho names ittached to the memorial; the first ot which was Jamei II. Kicing, which ho presumed was Uie junior member from Hamilton, (to then commented at somo length on tho sentiments expressed in Uie memorial, and called upon Mr. Ewing to stand by the principles which he had endorsed in 18.ll, or explain Uie reasons which had produced Uio chango in his views on Uie subject of repeal. Mr. Ewing said he had no recollection of ever seeing or signing the memorial read by Mr. C. Ho said he believed that in February, IcOti, ho was in Honda, and could not hava signed it, and that Ins llama must havo been attached to it without his knowledge or consent Ho suid he was a repealer, and he believed Uio Democnicy ol Hamilton coun ty, including thoso whose namea wore attached to tho memorial, wero also in luvor ol repeal, notwiuisland-ing tho memorial.

Mr. Bowen raised a question of order whether the Judidicry rouuiiittee could rtqurl back a bill which had been referred to it ith an amendment cnttiely changing its subject matter. The Chair, (Mr. McNulty,) decided the amendment to be in order. Mr. Hatch appealed from the decision, which was sustained without a division. The amendment was subsequently amended, so that in cose Uie loan cannot be obtained, the debts due contractors and laborers are to be paid by Uie issue ot evidences ot debt by the State, bearing in terest at six per cent, payable semi-annually. Said certificate not to be issued in the similitudo of bank paper, or of a denomination less than one hundred dollars each, or to a greater amount outstanding at one time than one million of dollars ; and the Board of Public Works are also authorized to complete the Wabash and Erie Canul, in case Uiey can do so with Uie means provided.

The nuestion being on agreeing to tho amendment offered by Mr. Probasco, making provision for the completion of Uie Miami Extension Canal, Mr. Probasco addressed the House at some length in favor of his amendment urging Uie necessity of Uie completion of Uiat canal, and setting forth Uie advantages which would result from it to a very large portion of the State. Mr. Hatch spoke in support of the amendment, and exhibited to Uie Houbo a specimen of a certificate of Public Debt on a large shoot ol paper, in order to show Uie impossibility of such issues constituting Uio common currency, or entering into Uie general cir culation. He was in tavur ot issuing Uio evidences of debt in Uiis shape, and whenever fie was charged with countenancing Uie creation of shinplasters by authority of the State, ho would exhibit the specimen he held in his hand as an argumcntagainstsuch charge. Ho was opposed to shinplasters in every shape, and would raUiorsco Uie Public Works of the state sunk in tne earui, uian uiat we should resort to the issue of shinplasters to complete them. Alter somo farther remarks by Messrs. Wallers and Byington, tho amendment of Mr. Probasco was agreed to. Sundry amendments were proposed by Messrs. Steedman and Wood, and rejected. Mr. Kellcy of C. moved Uiat Uio whole subject be laid on the table, which was lost. Mr. Hatch olfercd an amendment restricting the rate of interest on Uie loans to be obtained to six per cent payable semi-annually. Mr. Schenck Uiouglit it should not be lelt discre tionary with Uie commissioners making the loan, to hx Uie rate ot interest II more than six par cent was paid it would havo a disastrous effect on Uio value of our stock abroad. Tho amendment was agreed to. Mr. Byington offered an amendment providing that if no loan can be obtained at six per cent interest Uien Uio farther prosecution of Uie Public Works of Uie Stato shull bo suspended, which was lust Mr. Byington Uien offered onoUier amendment that no certificates of debt shull bo issued until an ellbrt shall havo been made to obtain a loan and failed, which was agreed to Mr. llowcn moved to recommit Uio bill and ponding amendment wiUi instructions, which was lost The question was Uien taken on agreeing to Uie original amendment reported by Uie Judiciary committee to Uio bill in relation to insolvent debtors, as amended, when it was disagreed to by a vote of 28 to 31. Mr. Wood moved to reconsider the vote on disagreeing to Uio amendment which, after a call of Uie House, was carried 37 to 211. The bill was then recommitted to a select commit tco of fivo, consisting of Messrs. Probasco, Byington, Steedman, Henderson and schenck.

The House adjourned. REMARKS OF MR. SCHENCK, In Uie llouso of Representatives, February 21, 1842, on Uio mil lo repeal Uio charter or Uia uhio Insurance Company. Mr. SciiEttci said, that he would not detain the House with a discussion of the doctrine of retiesl, Tho assumption of judicial powers on Uie part ot the present Legislature, in Uie passage of bills like this, had been sufficiently argued heretofore, without any elli'ct upon Uie mind or purposes of tho majority. They were not to bo stayed or influenced, il seemed, in Uieir determinations by any tiling which he or othors in Uie minority could suggest Neither was it worth whilo to retioat any tiling of all that hod been formerly said in regard to Uie nnlitical charac ter of Uiis claim of right to repeal charters solemnly granted. It had been maintained on that floor by the party in the majority as a purely and peculiarly democratic doctrine. That position, he thuuglit had been sufficiently snswered on a previous occasion, when he had shown, by reference to liistory,thalthe first attempt or exerciso of Uio arbitrary power, to repeal charters in Uiis country, was by Charles II. and James II. when they assailed in Uiat way Uie liber ties of Uie colonies before tho Revolution, and sought to wrest Irom our ancestors the privileges which Uio crown of England had guarantied to them by instru ments ol uiis character. He had proved uunnsiead of being a democratic doctrine, it was one of royal origin and high ainiry prerogative. He would be content now to stato a few laeta and pnkiailiona connected with the particular case in hand, in order Uiat people out of Uiat House might be inloniit-d uf Uio character and grounds of the proceeding. It was praiHised by Uia bill to eiftiuriiifA the cor porate existence of an Insurance Company, and tins was to be dona without proof or Inn. Ho ssid there wero lira sorts of prrsoiu known to Uie law. Aalural persons, such as were silting there around him, men uf "Uiows and sinews," with capacities, rights and interests; and artifiewl persons, creniuros of the law, constituted bv assiH'iations of individuals, on whom are contcrred certain powers by charters, enabling them, for greater convenience, to hold snd pa property, to sue and be i.ned, as single diinct bodies, winch we call roinoistn-n. Such wen generally our turnpike, rail road nud insurance companies, hanks, savings institutioivi, schools, churches, and many other aasis-ialcd biNhesnluch it hud beonluund convenient to organize, with tbisdis unct corporate being ; and mure e-ijiccially in a new country like this, where a union of power and means and intelligence was peculiarly necessary for the purpose of carrying out plans of enterprise and public utility, which it was impossible to accomplish by separate individual effort The necessity and ad vantage to arise Irom Uie creation, by uie legislative power, of such artificial beings, was foreseen and carefully provided for by those who framed Uie Constitution of Ohia It is in Uie 37th section of our " bill of rights " declared " That every association of persons, when regularly formed within Uiis State, and having given themselves a name, may, on application to Uie Legislature, be entitled to receive letters of incorporation, to enable them to hold estate, real and persona), for the support of their schools, academies, colleges and universities, and for other purpoiei." These two classes of persons, natural and artificial, continued Mr. S., are alike under the control and Uie protection of Uie law. They may be both said to have their charters. The charter of the " na tural man" is to be found in those regulations of conduct nnd right which are laid down in Uie organic and municiinl laws of the land, and within which, and under which, we exercise our personal, social and political privileges. If individuals transcend Uicse limits, they must abide the consequences, in being subjected lo Uie penalties which arc prescribed for violations of any of tiiose rales of conduct which regulate Uie duties of Uie citizen. The charter of Uie artificial person which colls it into being, as such, defines also its powers and capacities, and if it at tempt any thing Deyond what it is exnresBiy, or ny fair implication, empowered to do, it is liable to such punishment as is provided for Uie offence. In eitiier, or any case, whichever class of persons may be im-s plicated, natural or urtincial, uie onence is u do measured by Uie law; and to Uie judicial courts, and to them only, under tiie Constitution, belongs Uie authority to interpret and apply that law. Any exercise of such authority, by either the legislative or . executive departments, is a usurpation. But conceding tho right ot tho Legislature to take away charter privileges, where the power has not been reserved in the contract, what is Uie manner, and what the groundi of proceeding in this caso ? If a man commits murder we hang him. If a corporation violates its charter, and thus breaks the con- dition upon which it is permitted to live, it forfeits its existence. But in either cose there must be trial, proof, and judgment ; and wiUiout these, to take away any civil or corporate right, is to commit an act of arbitrary tyranny and oppression, incompetent with the secure enjoyment of Uiat freedom which our institutions were intended to preserve. But in Uiis instance, Mr. Speaker, it is not only proposed to exerc.Be powers which belong exclusively to Uie judiciary, but it is proposed to do it in Uie most summary manner, without notice to Uie party charged, witiiout allowing any aeience, wiuioui a petition even from any quarter asking us to undertake such an set, without evidence, witiiout trial, in utter disregard of all the forms, as well as wiUiout Uie authority, to be regarded always by Uiose who sit in judgment on Uio rights of others ! All Uiat is pretended or claimed against Uie Insurance Company, whoso chartur it is now proposed by this bill to repeal, is lounded upon a letter, referred to but not read, received by the member from Knox, and a rumor, heard from some quarter, w hich is not disclosed, by the member from Hamilton, (Mr. Hatch.) Then it follows Uiat upon any ex parte or irresponsible com munication, or worse than that upon mere rumor, we may arbitrarily take away vested rights, and disregard Uioso contracts to which the faith of Uie Stuto hss been guarantied under all Uie solemn forms of legislative enactment But what is tho nature of the charge against the Ohio Insurance Company r Wherein has it exceeded its chartered privileges? Why sir, it is "suspected" yes sir, Uiat is the word it is impeded, Uiat the exploded bank of Urbana has assigned, or is about to assign its effects, in order to escape the just consequences of its failure, and that Uiis compa ny is probutily going to consent to become Uio assignee; and, to use the language of Uie member lrom ftnox, wno introduced the bill, "tne object is to head Uie Urbana Bank." No offence by the Insurance Company, so far as can be ascertained, has yet been committed ; but it is suspected that it intends to do wrong. What a convenient preventive flystem this would be if adopted into Uie administration of the criminal code ! It would not then be necessary to wait until a man should actually commit forgery, or steal, or receive stolen goods; if sus- nerteAnf such intent inn vnu would nnlv hsvfl to mulish nim in advance, depriving him of Uie chance to com mit crime by anticipating it And Uien further to render the practice still more simple, it would only be necessary tn dispense with Uie useless and antiquated forms of trials and judgment in court Kir, whatever argument can be urged for Uie right of so proceeding in one class of cases, is equally good as to Uie otiicr. The right of trial by jury is as sbso-lutely secured by Uio laws of Uie land in one class of cases as in Uie oUier. Tho remedy for a violation of a charter under Uie known law of the land is plain, adequate, efficient, and within Uio resch of ev ery citizen who desires to prosecute to a judgment of lorleituro any offending corporation. But, sir, these are facts and propositions which it does no good to insist on here. I promised not to ilctain Uie House by going into the subject of rereul at larga The dangerous character of Uie practice and doctrine, and its total subversion of settled law and right fins, in termer discussions been fully established. The present will probably only afford another occasion for Uie minority in Uiis House to make a record of Uieir principles, as indicated by Uieir votes, sgainst Uie destructive course of tho party now in the majority.

His ex-Excellency Wilson Shannon, Uie immaculate Bank Reformer 1 of Leatii-erwood, has addressed a letter to one of his admirors in this place, giving a detailed history of the ' rise, progress snd final end ' of hisspeculauons in the money of Uie Manhattan Bank a ' reformed ' institution of the niost approved stamp, under the control of good and true Locofoco officers, with Locofoco borrowera and Uia ' individual responsibility ' feature in its charter.It appears from his epistle, that this pattern of' re- fumiors' did, in March, 1810, while Governor of this great State, immediately atlcr his nomination tor re election to Uiat honorable station, and on the eve of his departure on an electioneering tour through her different counties, during which ho daily belched forth his foul-mouthed slsnuers against tho first and best men of the country, and denounced banks, bankers and 1 borrowers from banks, 1 as swindlers and thieve! wa say at Uiis time, according to his own showing, this bank reformer ' repaired to Manhattan, drew $11,000 out of a concern he must have known was rotten to Uie core, and which was Uien fluttemg in Uio wind, and in a few months after went down leaving tiiniisaiids of dollars of its worthless trash in tho hands of Uie pcoplo, who had received it of himself and his associates! This is 'bank reform' with a vengeance! But is in perfect keeping with all the relorm' with which we have boen so liberally dosed at ditferent periods since Uie first dawn of Uie glori ous era ot Sliannonistn.

Mr. Henderson introduced a hill to allow Uie sher iff of Muskingum county additional time to return process, which was read Uio first time, and the con stitutional rule being dispensed wiUi, the bill was also read Uie second time and ordered to a Uiird read ing. Mr. Stanton moved that Uie bill to repeal the charter of Uin Urbana Banking company, be indefinitely postponed. Mr. htaiiton said tie did nntmako this motion lur tho purtKMO of making any question as to Uio right of repeal; upon Uiat subject every Senator had doubtless msile up his mind. But he wished to know what necessity there was for passings Siccial law to wind up the Hairs of Uiis bank, and repeal its charter, when we have already passed a law to wind up all hanks Uiat refuse to pay specie, which will take eftoet before Uiis bill can possibly become a law, and when its charter will expire by its own limitation on tho 1st day of January next He could see no propriety in making distinctintiAof Uiissort llewoiild askjthe attention of tho Senate s moment to Uiedif-fervneo between the mode provided in this bill fur winding up this bank, and the mode provided in the resumption bill, for winding up oilier suspended banks. By Uiis bill Uie receivers who ore to lako charge of the assets of tha bank, are to be appointed by Uie Bank Commissioners. By Uie resumption bill, Uie receivers are to be appointed by Uie Court who issues the writ of injunction and mandamus. By this bill, triey are to give security to uie sausiauuun ui uio Commissioners. By tho resumption bill, they oro to give security to Uie satisfaction of the court Bv Uiis hill. Uio receivers are subjected to no pun ishment for embezzling the assets of tho bank. By Uie resumption bill, if Uie receivers embezzle the assets of any bank, Uiey are to be imprisoned in Uie Penitentiary, not less Uian one, nor more than ten yoors. If I am correctly informed as to Uie origin of Uns bill, and the persons wno are most useiy to o appointed receivers, this is a provision of the benefit of which the creditors of Uie Urbana Bank should by no means be deprived. iiy tins bin uio receivers are nmuu ausuiuiciy independent of Uie courts, and no matter what miscon duct Uiey may have been guilty of, all application to the courts ol justice to prevent or arrest it is absolutely prohibited. By Uiis bill, Uio facts necessary to work a forfeiture of charter are assumed wiUiout trial or inquiry, upon mere rumor. By the resumption bill, Uio fact of forfeiture is to be tried by a jury, where Uio bank call have an opportunity of being heard in its own defence. If there was- any reason why Uio Urbana Bank should not have the benefit of Uiese provisions, he wished to know what it was. lie asaca no special exemption for this Bunk, and ho hoped no special disabilities would bo imposed on it, but that it would be disposed of under Uie general law which governed oUier banks. The bill was then indefinitely postponed ; yeas ID, nays 17, and The Senate took a rccoBS. 3 o'clock, P. M. Mr. Bartley, from tho committee on Uie Judiciary, reported back tho bill to amend Uie act regulating judicial proceedings where banks and bankors are purilCS, and 10 proiuuil issuing ouiik uius ui curiam descriptions, with sundry amendments, which wero agreed to, and Uie bill ordered to a third reading.

On motion of Mr. Nosh, tho Senate reconsidered its voto by which it refused to order to a third reading the bill for Uie relief of Uie contractors on the Wabash and Erie Canal and on Uie Miami Canal Extension, &c, and it was referred to the committee on Finance.

The Chair remarked that Uie presentation of such petitions only had a tendency to consumo Uio time of tho House, and Uicreupon declared it out of or der. Petitions wero also presented by Messrs.

Mr. Moore, from tho committee on New Counties, reported adversely to Uio petition of citizens of Clay township, Ottawa county, iraying to bo re-attached to tho county ol Sandusky.

Tho college had been in operation seven or eight years, and was a useful institution. Tho citizens of Mitskingiitn county had contributed to raise Ui Literary Fund, and now claimed a small share of Ui benefits to be derived from it Mr. Jenkins thought the citizens of Uiat county hud no particular claims for a special appropriation in their uehalt, as they had already robbed Uio ritale of a large amount ol money which had Decn oxpen ded in Uio construction ot public iiniirovements it Uiat county. Ho wished to see all Uio dams on Uie Muskiniruui river torn down, and Uio water sulfered to How in its original channel. At Uiis particular juncture, ho Uiouglit Uio laborers on the Public Works nccueo reuci more uian uie oiuskingui Collep-e. Mr. Chambers remarked that the magnificent pro ject of the Muskingum Improvement was stsrted, not by tiio w lugs, but by Uio political Incnds ot Uio gen tleman from Columbiana. II it was a robbery ot tin State, tho responsibility and odium rested on Un shoulders of Uie gentleman's political friends, snd not upon thoso of any whig in Muskingum county. Tho Muskingum College was justly entitled to a portion or Uio Literary fund, which was constituted for the cspocial purposo of aiding institutions of this description. Ho was sorry Uiat $.V),U0O was, by Uie spproiiristion bill, to bo taken from tiio Re.hool Fund for tho payment of contractors on the msniv pnbli works, by which the State had been robbed, according to the gentleman's statement The bill was Uien inuchuilly postponed by a vote of ;ito'. Mr. Bvinglon, from the Judiciary committee, re ported back the bill to amend an set prescribing the duties of county treasurers, by extending the time of Uieir settlement with the Treasurer of Stato untHUio second Monday of r ehniary in each year, and re commended its indefinite postponement, which was disagreed to. Mr. Ilyington moved Uiat it be recommitted to the committeo on r m ince. After a spirited discussion, In which Messrs. Pro- bnscu, Wood, Meredith and Mc r tirland took part opiKisitinn Ui the recommitment snd in favor of I putisago of the bill, and Mir. Jenkins, Byingti and Spalding in opposition to its psjwage,the motion to recommit was lost The hill was then ordered to a third reading, Mr. Byington, from Uie same committee, reported back the bill to amend Uie act defining the powers and duties of Justices of the Peace and constables criminal cases, by requiring complainants, for of fences not punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary, to give security for costs in case the complaint shall be dismissed. After some discussion, the bill was ordered to a Uiird reading. I he House took a recess. 2J o'clock, P. M. The question being on the engrossment of the bill repeal so much ot tho charter ol the Ohio 1 urn- pike Company, as authorizes Uie construction of Uieir road from the WooBter Turnpike to Cincinnati. Mr. Clarke moved Uiat tne Dill be postponed until tho 1st Monday of December next Mr. Jones opposed Uie motion. He said Uiat the Commissioners of Hamilton county were anxious Uiat the bill should pass ; that Uiey had expended money already in constructing a road on Uie route over which the Company's charter authorizes Uio construction of a turnpiko, and were desirous to prevent Uie company lrom proceeding with that portion ol Uieir road. Mr. Clarke hoped tho Houbo would postpone Uie bill. It was introduced very lato in Uie session without any petition, and without any notice to the Company, and if members really wished to do justice to Uie stockholders of Uiat Company, in Uie action this bill may receive at their hands, they would postpone Uieir action on the subject until those whose interests are to be effected could be heard by petition or lomorial in the premises, this is Uie House in hich Uie bill originated, and it lias not yet been en grossed. But four days of the session remain, and it was next to impossible Uiat it should become a law. Let it then be continued until the next regular session, and in tho mean time Uie stockholders ot Uie Company will be enabled to present the fuels and arguments, that they may deem proper to a full and fair ascertainment of their interests involved in the provisions of Iho bill. I havo, said Mr. C, some stock in that rotd, but fuel free to soy Uiat I have more interest in doing justice to tiioso who are unheard and unrepresented horc, Uian in Uie few shares I own, which or greatly below par, and ore considered as of but title value. If it is right Uiat Uiis bill hall pass, it wil, not be too late to do it at the next session, and if ths Company can show sufficient reasons why it shot Id not pass, it will Uien be a good time to learn Uie condition of tho case, and understand the merits of Uie bill. Mr. Jones raised Uie question of order, whcUicr the member from Clermont, (Mr. Clarke) who being stockholder, aui consequently interested in the question, was enti led to vote on Uie question, and read trom uie iuamai in support ol ins position. Mr. Clarke said he lull that lie could vote Irco from any influences arising out of his personal interest, hut he would giatify the member from 1 lomilton, who seemed to havt set his heart upon Uio success of Uiis measure, and ask to bo excused from voting on Uie question. The motion to postsono was thon lost (ftir. Llorlio being excused from voting, agreeably with Uio request of Mr. Jones,) yeos 2i), nays 32 a strict party vote. The question Uien being on tho engrossment of Uie bill, Mr. Clarke said ho was sorry to hnd Uie House un- iliinff to do an act of naked justice, by affording the stockholders of Uie Company an opportunity to bo informed of Uie proceedings and to bo heard in lieir own behalf. 1 hii poor privilege havipir been denied, he felt it to be his duty to submit a few re marks to Uio consideration ot Uie House, bcloro Uie vote was taken. Mr. Clarke Uien wen', into a lengthy detail of the facts connected with the progress of Uie road. Ho also read from Uio Cincinnati Republican of Fchrua- y with, 181', a memorial drawn up and presented to lie Legislature bv tiia Democracy of Hamilton county, in lcSJli, denouncing Uie doctrine of repeal of charters as revolutioiury and dangerous ; which memorial, ho said, had keen circulated for Uie purposo of obtaining signers, by one of Uie members from Hamilton now on Uiis floor. Mr. Hatch rose and interrupted Mr. Clurko, by uying that if Uie allusion was to him, he (Mr. (.'.) was mistaken. He had never circulated such a memorial fur signers, nor in any manner aided in procuring Biihscnbcrs for it and Uiot whenever the editor of that paper, (tho Cincinnati Republicnn in Uie hands of Mr. Clorke) or the moiubor from Clermont made such statements, ho must say Uiey were incor rect Mr. Clarke said he was willing tho pentlemnn should moke tho explanation, and ho would stsnd corrected. Mr. C. Uien roceeded to read tho names ittached to the memorial; the first ot which was Jamei II. Kicing, which ho presumed was Uie junior member from Hamilton, (to then commented at somo length on tho sentiments expressed in Uie memorial, and called upon Mr. Ewing to stand by the principles which he had endorsed in 18.ll, or explain Uie reasons which had produced Uio chango in his views on Uie subject of repeal. Mr. Ewing said he had no recollection of ever seeing or signing the memorial read by Mr. C.

Mr. Bowen raised a question of order whether the Judidicry rouuiiittee could rtqurl back a bill which had been referred to it ith an amendment cnttiely changing its subject matter. The Chair, (Mr. McNulty,) decided the amendment to be in order. Mr. Hatch appealed from the decision, which was sustained without a division. The amendment was subsequently amended, so that in cose Uie loan cannot be obtained, the debts due contractors and laborers are to be paid by Uie issue ot evidences ot debt by the State, bearing in terest at six per cent, payable semi-annually. Said certificate not to be issued in the similitudo of bank paper, or of a denomination less than one hundred dollars each, or to a greater amount outstanding at one time than one million of dollars ; and the Board of Public Works are also authorized to complete the Wabash and Erie Canul, in case Uiey can do so with Uie means provided.

The nuestion being on agreeing to tho amendment offered by Mr. Probasco, making provision for the completion of Uie Miami Extension Canal, Mr. Probasco addressed the House at some length in favor of his amendment urging Uie necessity of Uie completion of Uiat canal, and setting forth Uie advantages which would result from it to a very large portion of the State. Mr. Hatch spoke in support of the amendment, and exhibited to Uie Houbo a specimen of a certificate of Public Debt on a large shoot ol paper, in order to show Uie impossibility of such issues constituting Uio common currency, or entering into Uie general cir culation. He was in tavur ot issuing Uio evidences of debt in Uiis shape, and whenever fie was charged with countenancing Uie creation of shinplasters by authority of the State, ho would exhibit the specimen he held in his hand as an argumcntagainstsuch charge. Ho was opposed to shinplasters in every shape, and would raUiorsco Uie Public Works of the state sunk in tne earui, uian uiat we should resort to the issue of shinplasters to complete them. Alter somo farther remarks by Messrs. Wallers and Byington, tho amendment of Mr. Probasco was agreed to. Sundry amendments were proposed by Messrs. Steedman and Wood, and rejected. Mr. Kellcy of C. moved Uiat Uio whole subject be laid on the table, which was lost.

Mr. Schenck Uiouglit it should not be lelt discre tionary with Uie commissioners making the loan, to hx Uie rate ot interest II more than six par cent was paid it would havo a disastrous effect on Uio value of our stock abroad. Tho amendment was agreed to. Mr. Byington offered an amendment providing that if no loan can be obtained at six per cent interest Uien Uio farther prosecution of Uie Public Works of Uie Stato shull bo suspended, which was lust Mr. Byington Uien offered onoUier amendment that no certificates of debt shull bo issued until an ellbrt shall havo been made to obtain a loan and failed, which was agreed to Mr. llowcn moved to recommit Uio bill and ponding amendment wiUi instructions, which was lost The question was Uien taken on agreeing to Uie original amendment reported by Uie Judiciary committee to Uio bill in relation to insolvent debtors, as amended, when it was disagreed to by a vote of 28 to 31. Mr. Wood moved to reconsider the vote on disagreeing to Uio amendment which, after a call of Uie House, was carried 37 to 211. The bill was then recommitted to a select commit tco of fivo, consisting of Messrs. Probasco, Byington, Steedman, Henderson and schenck.

The House adjourned. REMARKS OF MR. SCHENCK, In Uie llouso of Representatives, February 21, 1842, on Uio mil lo repeal Uio charter or Uia uhio Insurance Company. Mr. SciiEttci said, that he would not detain the House with a discussion of the doctrine of retiesl, Tho assumption of judicial powers on Uie part ot the present Legislature, in Uie passage of bills like this, had been sufficiently argued heretofore, without any elli'ct upon Uie mind or purposes of tho majority. They were not to bo stayed or influenced, il seemed, in Uieir determinations by any tiling which he or othors in Uie minority could suggest Neither was it worth whilo to retioat any tiling of all that hod been formerly said in regard to Uie nnlitical charac ter of Uiis claim of right to repeal charters solemnly granted. It had been maintained on that floor by the party in the majority as a purely and peculiarly democratic doctrine. That position, he thuuglit had been sufficiently snswered on a previous occasion, when he had shown, by reference to liistory,thalthe first attempt or exerciso of Uio arbitrary power, to repeal charters in Uiis country, was by Charles II. and James II. when they assailed in Uiat way Uie liber ties of Uie colonies before tho Revolution, and sought to wrest Irom our ancestors the privileges which Uio crown of England had guarantied to them by instru ments ol uiis character. He had proved uunnsiead of being a democratic doctrine, it was one of royal origin and high ainiry prerogative. He would be content now to stato a few laeta and pnkiailiona connected with the particular case in hand, in order Uiat people out of Uiat House might be inloniit-d uf Uio character and grounds of the proceeding. It was praiHised by Uia bill to eiftiuriiifA the cor porate existence of an Insurance Company, and tins was to be dona without proof or Inn. Ho ssid there wero lira sorts of prrsoiu known to Uie law. Aalural persons, such as were silting there around him, men uf "Uiows and sinews," with capacities, rights and interests; and artifiewl persons, creniuros of the law, constituted bv assiH'iations of individuals, on whom are contcrred certain powers by charters, enabling them, for greater convenience, to hold snd pa property, to sue and be i.ned, as single diinct bodies, winch we call roinoistn-n. Such wen generally our turnpike, rail road nud insurance companies, hanks, savings institutioivi, schools, churches, and many other aasis-ialcd biNhesnluch it hud beonluund convenient to organize, with tbisdis unct corporate being ; and mure e-ijiccially in a new country like this, where a union of power and means and intelligence was peculiarly necessary for the purpose of carrying out plans of enterprise and public utility, which it was impossible to accomplish by separate individual effort The necessity and ad vantage to arise Irom Uie creation, by uie legislative power, of such artificial beings, was foreseen and carefully provided for by those who framed Uie Constitution of Ohia It is in Uie 37th section of our " bill of rights " declared " That every association of persons, when regularly formed within Uiis State, and having given themselves a name, may, on application to Uie Legislature, be entitled to receive letters of incorporation, to enable them to hold estate, real and persona), for the support of their schools, academies, colleges and universities, and for other purpoiei." These two classes of persons, natural and artificial, continued Mr. S., are alike under the control and Uie protection of Uie law. They may be both said to have their charters. The charter of the " na tural man" is to be found in those regulations of conduct nnd right which are laid down in Uie organic and municiinl laws of the land, and within which, and under which, we exercise our personal, social and political privileges. If individuals transcend Uicse limits, they must abide the consequences, in being subjected lo Uie penalties which arc prescribed for violations of any of tiiose rales of conduct which regulate Uie duties of Uie citizen. The charter of Uie artificial person which colls it into being, as such, defines also its powers and capacities, and if it at tempt any thing Deyond what it is exnresBiy, or ny fair implication, empowered to do, it is liable to such punishment as is provided for Uie offence. In eitiier, or any case, whichever class of persons may be im-s plicated, natural or urtincial, uie onence is u do measured by Uie law; and to Uie judicial courts, and to them only, under tiie Constitution, belongs Uie authority to interpret and apply that law. Any exercise of such authority, by either the legislative or . executive departments, is a usurpation. But conceding tho right ot tho Legislature to take away charter privileges, where the power has not been reserved in the contract, what is Uie manner, and what the groundi of proceeding in this caso ? If a man commits murder we hang him. If a corporation violates its charter, and thus breaks the con- dition upon which it is permitted to live, it forfeits its existence. But in either cose there must be trial, proof, and judgment ; and wiUiout these, to take away any civil or corporate right, is to commit an act of arbitrary tyranny and oppression, incompetent with the secure enjoyment of Uiat freedom which our institutions were intended to preserve. But in Uiis instance, Mr. Speaker, it is not only proposed to exerc.Be powers which belong exclusively to Uie judiciary, but it is proposed to do it in Uie most summary manner, without notice to Uie party charged, witiiout allowing any aeience, wiuioui a petition even from any quarter asking us to undertake such an set, without evidence, witiiout trial, in utter disregard of all the forms, as well as wiUiout Uie authority, to be regarded always by Uiose who sit in judgment on Uio rights of others ! All Uiat is pretended or claimed against Uie Insurance Company, whoso chartur it is now proposed by this bill to repeal, is lounded upon a letter, referred to but not read, received by the member from Knox, and a rumor, heard from some quarter, w hich is not disclosed, by the member from Hamilton, (Mr. Hatch.) Then it follows Uiat upon any ex parte or irresponsible com munication, or worse than that upon mere rumor, we may arbitrarily take away vested rights, and disregard Uioso contracts to which the faith of Uie Stuto hss been guarantied under all Uie solemn forms of legislative enactment But what is tho nature of the charge against the Ohio Insurance Company r Wherein has it exceeded its chartered privileges? Why sir, it is "suspected" yes sir, Uiat is the word it is impeded, Uiat the exploded bank of Urbana has assigned, or is about to assign its effects, in order to escape the just consequences of its failure, and that Uiis compa ny is probutily going to consent to become Uio assignee; and, to use the language of Uie member lrom ftnox, wno introduced the bill, "tne object is to head Uie Urbana Bank." No offence by the Insurance Company, so far as can be ascertained, has yet been committed ; but it is suspected that it intends to do wrong. What a convenient preventive flystem this would be if adopted into Uie administration of the criminal code ! It would not then be necessary to wait until a man should actually commit forgery, or steal, or receive stolen goods; if sus- nerteAnf such intent inn vnu would nnlv hsvfl to mulish nim in advance, depriving him of Uie chance to com mit crime by anticipating it And Uien further to render the practice still more simple, it would only be necessary tn dispense with Uie useless and antiquated forms of trials and judgment in court Kir, whatever argument can be urged for Uie right of so proceeding in one class of cases, is equally good as to Uie otiicr. The right of trial by jury is as sbso-lutely secured by Uio laws of Uie land in one class of cases as in Uie oUier. Tho remedy for a violation of a charter under Uie known law of the land is plain, adequate, efficient, and within Uio resch of ev ery citizen who desires to prosecute to a judgment of lorleituro any offending corporation. But, sir, these are facts and propositions which it does no good to insist on here. I promised not to ilctain Uie House by going into the subject of rereul at larga The dangerous character of Uie practice and doctrine, and its total subversion of settled law and right fins, in termer discussions been fully established. The present will probably only afford another occasion for Uie minority in Uiis House to make a record of Uieir principles, as indicated by Uieir votes, sgainst Uie destructive course of tho party now in the majority. From the Delaware Gazelle. Tin $3000 Note. His ex-Excellency Wilson Shannon, Uie immaculate Bank Reformer 1 of Leatii-erwood, has addressed a letter to one of his admirors in this place, giving a detailed history of the ' rise, progress snd final end ' of hisspeculauons in the money of Uie Manhattan Bank a ' reformed ' institution of the niost approved stamp, under the control of good and true Locofoco officers, with Locofoco borrowera and Uia ' individual responsibility ' feature in its charter.It appears from his epistle, that this pattern of' re- fumiors' did, in March, 1810, while Governor of this great State, immediately atlcr his nomination tor re election to Uiat honorable station, and on the eve of his departure on an electioneering tour through her different counties, during which ho daily belched forth his foul-mouthed slsnuers against tho first and best men of the country, and denounced banks, bankers and 1 borrowers from banks, 1 as swindlers and thieve! wa say at Uiis time, according to his own showing, this bank reformer ' repaired to Manhattan, drew $11,000 out of a concern he must have known was rotten to Uie core, and which was Uien fluttemg in Uio wind, and in a few months after went down leaving tiiniisaiids of dollars of its worthless trash in tho hands of Uie pcoplo, who had received it of himself and his associates! This is 'bank reform' with a vengeance! But is in perfect keeping with all the relorm' with which we have boen so liberally dosed at ditferent periods since Uie first dawn of Uie glori ous era ot Sliannonistn.
